BC2502C/BC2502D
Sub-1GHz Low-IF OOK/FSK RF Receiver
Features
General Description
• Frequency bands
The BC2502x receiver devices adopt a fully-integrated,
low-IF OOK/FSK receiver with an automatic gain
control (AGC) function and a fully-integrated
OOK/FSK demodulator. The synthesizer is formed by
an integrated VCO and a fractional-N PLL to support
the 315, 433, 868, and 915MHz frequency bands.
The devices only require a crystal and a minimum
number of passive components to fully implement an
OOK/FSK receiver. With this high level of functional
integration, these devices provide excellent solutions
for low-cost, low power wireless applications.
♦
BC2502C: 315MHz, 433MHz
♦
BC2502D: 315MHz, 433MHz,
868MHz, 915MHz
• Operating voltage range: 2.4V~5.5V
• 0.5µA deep sleep current with data retention
• Low RX current
♦
4.5mA @ 433MHz
♦
5.8mA @ 868MHz
• Supports OOK/FSK modulation
The devices achieve -112dBm sensitivity for the
433.92MHz bands. They operate from a supply
voltage of 2.4V to 5.5V and typically require 4.5mA
at 433.92MHz. There are two operation modes, one of
which is the Auto RX mode. By properly setting certain
PCB wirings, they can directly enter the RX mode. The
devices also support a sniff RX mode, where the on/
off RX mode function can be controlled by an MCU to
achieve a lower than average power consumption using
duty RX mode operation.
♦
OOK support up to 40ksps symbol rate
♦
FSK support up to 50ksps symbol rate
• Good reception sensitivity under 0.1% BER
(BW=93.6k)
♦
-110dBm@25kbps, 433MHz, OOK
♦
-107dBm@25kbps, 433MHz, FSK
♦
-108dBm@25kbps, 868MHz, OOK
♦
-104dBm@25kbps, 868MHz, FSK
The BC2502 series offers two types of ICs. One is the
BC2502C which covers the 315 and 433MHz bands
while the BC2502D offers a choice of four frequency
bands.
